This is true, but I'm not a cartographer. I know enough to appreciate a well rendered map but it is not my job.

In fact most of the time I can get way with just a vector layer over a 3rd party tile layer using Leaflet and some fancy fireworks showing labels on click/hover events.

I'm really glad I don't need to render tiles in the server side anymore but I remember the time when I had not choice but manage my own tile server simply because many clients could not handle something simple like a choropleth map with all the voting districts in my state.
